The Trouble of Warped Windows

Moisture is one of the major causes of window warping. The wood frames absorb the moisture, causing them to rot and warp. Moisture stresses out wood, forcing it to shrink and expand. The longer the wood is exposed to moisture, the more permanent the contortion is. Exposure to sunlight, extreme temperature and airflow can affect the severity of the warping.

Window warping is bad news for your home. Warped windows create large gaps that damage the windows, sabotaging your home’s insulation. This affects your home’s energy efficiency and increases your home’s energy consumption. Severe warp damage is usually irreparable. Windows are not only the ones susceptible to warping, wooden doors and sliding French doors can also fall victim. It’s best to install replacement windows that would not yield to warping. 

Fibrex® Replacement Windows

Fibrex is the best replacement material for warped and damaged windows. It does not expand or contract as it is a composite of wood and vinyl. Even with exposure to adverse temperature changes and moisture, Fibrex is resistant to warping. In addition, Fibrex windows are available in a variety of colors, even dark exterior colors. Due to the material’s versatility, Fibrex is covered by one of the best window limited warranties in the industry.
